Watch bike crash videos all the time. Hits different when you know the guy. I never met Trevor in person, but we've had enough interaction on here that I feel like I have, and consider him a friend.

Trevor, kudos to you for getting back in the saddle after this wreck. Sounds like your hard work at rehab has been well worth the effort.
My mom-in-law was in a bad spot underneath a "runaway" SUV a few years ago. Similarly to your situation, after a couple of major surgeries and countless hours of physical therapy her recovery has exceeded Dr's expectations.
As far as the video, I'm kinda like Rich. I want to see it, but don't. Saw a video of a friend's head on collision with another bike at highway speed. Thankfully the audio was down. Now I can't unsee that moment.
FWIW, sometimes I watch other riders pass by and just feel in my gut that a car will pull out in their lane, or something, whatever, will happen. The thought is so vivid my heart races as if I'd already wittnessed it. Maybe that stems from seeing other videos of it actually happening. So, yeah, I personally would not want to see it.
